This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the California Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") and the San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed in a bid for a public works project and no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the DIR per California Labor Code Section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under California Labor Code Section 1771.1(a)].The objective of the project is to provide contingency-based as-needed replacement of sections of existing sewer pipelines on short notice at locations to be determined within the City and County of San Francisco. The work is to be performed in San Francisco, California. The Engineers estimate is $9,500,000. The contract will be awarded to the responsible Bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid.

The LBE Subcontracting Participation Requirement is 8.00% and ONLY San Francisco (Local) Small & Micro-LBEs can be utilized to meet this requirement (Firms certified by SF Contract Monitoring Division). SFPUC-LBEs cannot be utilized to meet the 8.00% LBE Subcontracting Participation Requirement. This contract scope of work is identical to WW-698, which had an established requirement of 7%. Additionally, taken into consideration of the variability of actual work scopes for each contract service order and the average of the closeout LBE participation percentage of the last seven (7) spot sewer contracts closed to date, 8% for this contract is feasible.
